i love florida :)
however hubby,will only do it,every other year & we have to go somewhere else as well,to keep him happy.
we have done
orlando & st petes
orlando & hawaii
orlando & san francisco
a 2 week tour,then florida
and this year it is new york & orlando.
the thing i love,is you never get bored & there is always something different to do.
this year we are doing universal.as we have never had the time,to do it before,also busch gardens,as we have only been once before,so we are still experiencing new things,even on our 5th visit.
i have always said,if i ever won the lottery,i would love to live,down by st petes beach.i just love the area,but you can tell,it's a money area,but it's nice to dream :)
so yes,it does get in your blood

Tracy you sound just like my Mrs! We are off to (what I think) is the holiday of a lifetime in a few weeks, skiing at Lake Tahoe, then driving across the desert to have a couple of nights in the Bellagio in Vegas, then to LA for a week. Still, apparently there is a ?Disney and Universal in LA that I'm being dragged to!

We went to Florida for the first time last August for 3 weeks (two adults and our almost 6 year old daughter) and absolutely loved it. Thought we would fit more into the 3 weeks than we did but there is just so much to do.

We weren't gonig to go again for a few years but with my sister announcing she is getting married August 2011 in Greece, we couldn't bare to wait until 2012 to go again so booked again for this August.

I couldn't imagine doing it out of a hotel though unless we were moving around because half of the fun we had on our holiday last year was the lovely villa we stayed at so doing the same this year but have been brave and booked the flights and villa separately, which is working out more flexible and cheaper than using a travel agent anyway.

Do I think we will go again after this year? I like to go to different places each year but I would say we definately will be back for a 3rd visit before too long. 200 days today until we go (not that I am counting :) )

Agreed, it's addictive, I've been in 2006, 2007 and 2009. 1st time had a week in a villa, second time toured around for 14 days, third time toured around for 16 days. We've done Orlando, St Petes, Tampa, Ft Myers & Ft Luaderdale, plus Busch gardens, kennedy space centre, seaworld, discovery cove, all the disney parks and aquatica.

Only thing limiting us is money. I love to fly drive round Florida and my favourite pastime is deciding where to live when I win the euromillions rollover. Love the Ft Lauderdale waterfront area so that always seems to be the favourite.

will be many more trips to come, haven't done Miami & the keys yet .

For beautiful white sandy beaches try the Destin area next time,up in the Panhandle. Best beaches in Florida.. Eat outside at A.J's and guard your food as pelicans swoop, trying to steal it.

hi pieeterluk we feel the some as you,i could go to florida every year till we drop,in fact they could bury me there and i would be happy,we have the same dream as you to win the lottery and move to florida,i just love the thought of waking up in the morning to a blue sky and beutiful sunshine,instead of grey skys and no sun,one day our dream will come true,i am going to buy an extra lucky dip ticket tonight,so i could be living there next month,i will keep you informed. :wave: :wave: :rofl :rofl :tongue

I agree :) 4th visit in October & counting down the days already. We loved it so much we got married out there in October 07 & are planning on visiting Cypress Grove where we got married on our anniversary date.
The main thing we're looking forward to are both Universal parks & the Halloween Horror Nights which has it's 20th anniversary this year so should be amazing! Oh, and riding Manta at Seaworld.

We aren't too fussed with Disney & will probably only do Epcot & MGM again. Have been to Miami twice & on our last visit found South Beach had gone downhill in our opinion which was a shame.

We went to Kenya last year & loved that too, so not sure where to go next year although it may be Orlando again. Will have to wait until the brochures come out for next year & toss a coin :)

Not Florida, but Vegas is like that for me. This year will be something like my 13th or 14th trip there, I have actually lost count! :D But I think it's something like the 10th year in a row I've been - I love it!!

We love Florida, have a place in Naples on the gulf. Would live there if we could! Don't like Orlando though. Love F. Lauderdale and Miami.
